This is a case where you want to stake out an extreme position and then get negotiated down.

Fuck tax records. All Supreme Court justices (all 53 of them) will have to divest all assets (their spouses’ as well) into a blind trust, and be followed 24/7 by camera crews, with every second live-streamed.

Let the conservatives negotiate down from that and we’ll get some basic accountability.
